[dba-VB] SCRUM: Northwind.NET v.1.1 (Alpha) with MS Access Backend published

Hi all

It is my impression that - in the mind of MS - a downgrade from SQL Server 200x (server-based) should be the SQL Server Compact Edition which is file-based as Access/JET is except that it is local and not shareable but is deployable via Click-Once. 
Next level below is pure XML.

Using Access/JET - or MySQL or any other db - is simply another "business".

Because...
1. I don't know how to do this.
2. I don't see any benefits other than more pain.
3. I don't see any DAO.Properties on the SQL tables.

Inertia.   Perhaps.

Shamil,

It is not interesting to me, personally. All my database activity occurs in
SQL Server and MySQL. The concept of an Access BE is for me so 20th century
LOL. However, I realize that not everyone agrees and that some folks might
like an Access BE. (Although given that SQL Express is free, I frankly don't
understand this, other than the force of inertia.)
